I'm sure if you google those kits, you can find them. But what kind of products are your purchasing that makes you believe those chemicals are in there?  |

phenylalanine
Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid (a building block for proteins in the body), meaning the body needs it for health but cannot make it. You have to get it from food. Phenylalanine is found in three forms: L-phenylalanine, the natural form found in proteins; D-phenylalanine (a mirror image of L-phenylalanine that is made in a laboratory), and DL-phenylalanine, a combination of the two forms.

The rest are pretty standard skin care ingredients.  |

Also I started a thread, it's in the DIY recipe index with numerous sites to find information, I just bumped it feel free to add any that you feel are of value.

Thanks oasis,
Some others did contribute, but I worked on gathering a number of sites so we have resources to investigate ingredients! |

Sorry none that I know of, I would just check all the ingredients. I linked a site that lists all steroids in alphabetical order in an earlier post. |

| I wish i could find out too, because i use fairandflawless products too, and it whitens my skin within a week. The problem however is that my skin has thinned a lot and i have the worst and weirdest stretchmarks that look like scars from a major surgery all over my body. These stretchmarks only started appearing on my skin after using their products. Now, I'm on the lookout for products that can help erase them. I have regular stretchmarks that look like what every other person has which comes and disappears, but these weird stretchmarks have refused to go, i can't wear shorts or sleevless tops and dresses anymore. Please can someone offer some help. |
